July 4th

Last year several families hung out at the community pool ALL DAY on the 4th.  

The guys golfed in the AM, then they met us at the pool for lunch.
Swam all day.

Kids took naps---I stayed at the pool

Then, everyone went to Wilkinson's for a BBQ and Fireworks!!

SO---we are all planning for the same fun!

But, instead.....this year.....

IT RAINED AND RAINED AND RAINED AND RAINED!!!!

What a bummer!

The rain did quit long enough to do fireworks and eat at Wilkinson's!! 

 But, no relaxing at the pool this year.

Not sure about Tyler's face!!

He's probably saying---"uh, don't take my picture!"

Last year Brian Thompson bought a role of 8,000 firecrackers!  WOW!!!

This year, Brian Wilkinson bought 16,000!  WOW times 2.

This is the roll, it's just a big joke now.  I hope they don't go for more next year.  It's sort of funny---but after 6 straight minutes of CRACK CRACK CRACK!!!!!  You are ready for it to STOP!!

And, it leads to the kids doing this....

This is the only firecracker that makes the kids hold their ears----it's just SO LONG

Jaden being Jaden!!!

Watching the show...
